Company of Indiana at 16.8 cents a gallon at filling stations end 14.9 cents from wagons. Several independent companies sold “gas” today at 19% cents but all independents here are expected to Meet the Standard Oil reduction. TWELVEPERISH —INUTAH FLOOD (Continued from Page One.) Dut no casualties were reported from that section. The storm and the flood struck hardest at Farmington, 15 miles from Balt Lake. Tho city was thrown into darkness when water put the power house out of commission. At that city, Arnold Christensen @ied from exhaustion when he at- tempted to save his little daughter from being carried down stream after he hed rescued three other members of his family. Christensen’s brether, A. C. Chris- tensen, fought his way through the marrow current and lifted the girl gafely to shore. Several persons were caught in the wall of water rushing down from the mountain channels through one stream near Farmington, and mirac- ulously saved when the current swept them to the sides of the stream enabling them to pull themselves from the water. Five hundred persons were. strand: e4 several hours Lagoon, a resort on the outskirts of Farming- ton, when transportation means were the construction of pumping station No. 1 in the fidiad. The boilers are now installed and ready for the brick work and the plant will probably be ready for operation about the first of the coming month.

EXCHANGE Gasoline Price War Brings On Heavy Liquidation Of Leading Issues NEW YORK, Aug. 14.—Extension of the gasoline price-cutting war to 16 middie western and southern states and reports of further cuts {n crude oil, prices resulted in heavy offerings of the ofl shares in today's stocké market. Losses of one to three pointy fn this group, which brought about sympathetic declines in other quar- ters were recovered later when shorts began to cover. Sales approximate 450,000 shares, NEW YORK, Aug. 14—Selling of the ofl shares in reflection of the gasoline price war in the middlewest featured the irregular opening of to- day's stock market. Producers and Refiners and Marland each dropped 1% points, the former duplicating its previous low price of the year. Copper lost ground a result of the falling off in export demand.

Beet oS WHEAT CLOSE. (S UNGETTLED Rallies In Chicago Trading Today Fail to Hold, Price Weakens CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—After nearly a week's advance the wheat market today showed a downward tendency during the early dealings. Some of the selling was said to be on the part of foreigners but general buying showed less vigor than of late and a number of commission houses appeared to be expecting a reaction in view of recent continued upturns. Country offerings however, remained small and bulls took the position that price setbacks would prove transient. The opening, which varied from unchanged figures to half cent lower, with Bept. 1.00 5.8 to 1.00 3-4 and December 1.04 1-8 to 104 1-4, was followed by a material decline all around. Rallies which ensued fafled to hold. The close was unsettled, 5-8 @ 3-4 to lower, with September In the later trading, bears continu- ed to have an advantage, with favor. able crop reports from the central West more than offsetting damage advices from the southwest.

The action is the result of long de Uberation and a knowledge of the fact that in order properly to take care of the youth of the city there must be @ place where they will not be thrown up against the rougher wrong-doers. It has been the condition im the past that if boys of 12 and 15 years were to have a hearing they must have it in a crowded court room and perhaps after they haye been “‘acared stiff’ by hearing the trials of older men. There ts often testimony necessary to be produced in pollce court that shocks the refined sensibilities of most women and of young persons, which forms another reason for the change. The changing of the court room will not interfere with the facilities for holding council meetings since these are at an altogether different hour.

PRIGE OF WHEAT CLIMBS DESPITE BEARISH REPORT Over-Production Claims Fail to Exert Pressure on Chicago Market CHICAGO, Aug. 14—Whfle a re- search committes of the wheat council of the United States and the United Stat Chamber of Commerce here yesterday announced reports of over- production of wheat were exagger- ated and railroad executives tn con- ference with Omaha business men said they would further consider the proposal to reduce freight rates on wheat, the price of that cereal ad- vanced in the Chicago market to $1.01, en increase of six centa. Depressed market conditions were attributed by research committee to reports of surplus production and res- olutions adopted declared a study of the situation did not bear out est!- mates. A definite research program was begun which will report on Sep- tember 24. Railroad executives who recently refused to make rate reductions in freight on wheat were asked to re consider their action by the Omaha Chamber of Commerce. The exec. utives were reported as agresing to consider the matter further and would communicate later with the Omaha commercial organization. The program adopted by the re search committee was designed to develop facts concerning wheat con- sumption; to analyze steps taken by the department of agriculture during the war to stimulate wheat acreage with a view of reversing the process back to normal acreage; to develop accurate figures on the cost of prof itahle wheat production; to develop accurate figures on the sections in whieh readjustment of wheat acreage ia possible with a view of concentrat- ing on these sections, The increase in the market price of wheat, the best since July 10, was es- timated as adding a $50,000,000 value to the wheat crop.
